Halloween Tradition going strong...

Tonight for family night, we cut into pumpkins and brought them to life.

This is something we do every year with the kids and they/myself look forward to it.

Since Dan and I have been married, it has been a rule that I do the clean out; Dan thinks that it is nasty and the tradition seems to carry on with the kids.

The girls, every one of them, where down there with me, cleaning and gutting out the pumpkins, but Carson had NO desire to touch the goo. It was almost like he was scared of it.

Either way, my boys are not the dirty type and they don't care if we the girls make fun of them.
What can I say...I have clean freaks for boys!

The pumpkins had no chance with all of us taken them on.
With the guts all gone, it was time for the craving...

Dan putting his muscles into it. Babe, you show that pumpkin who is boss!

All of our hard work paid off...we craved a spider and a skull vampire.

(I have to admit...I did the skull. I got some skills when it comes to craving a pumpkins!)

The kids were so proud of their pumpkins, but I am too.

The kids took the pumpkins outside to show off to the neighborhood.

Hopefully now all the spooks will stay away and Halloween can now come.
